I concur, Apple should take the high road, whether they ultimately make any content that I may or may not prefer, is not the issue. I want to see shows that occasionally have a plot, that doesn't use excessive violence or sexuality to do it. I am seeing more and more ads for Netflix shows that I have zero interest in.. They all appear to be highly adult oriented, or horror, which is a genre perhaps many like, but I have never cared for..

What it really boils down to; is governments are looking for more ways to steal money under the guise of taxes to spend it on themselves, and others that don't deserve it.

For some reason I am not clear on which preset uses the Apple Video Toolkit, is this any preset that specifies an Apple Device?

I wish Apple would stop with the value add, and just provide a set of AirPod II with charging case for same price. They can make it up with the Gen 1 upgrade to the charging case. But no, you have to spend $199 for the AirPod II and charging. Not $159. Even $79 for the charging case alone seems a little steep. Yeah I know Apple has always prices as premium, but minor adjustments would probably sell more, IF they can make them, always seems like there is never enough...

I don't anything compelling me to upgrade from my 2015 iMac. Screen resolution is same. I want crisper, sharper. Screen size is same. I want 30+ inch. Fusion drive. Whatever. I don't do video editing so I don't need a better graphics card. i5 processor. Snoozefest. Two years of engineering effort and this is what they deliver?

Other than a 30" screen, this iMac would smoke your 2015 in performance.  If you want a 30" screen, or bigger add one via Thunderbolt..  Course you'll still be slower than molasses in comparison to the 2019 model..
